Your first parent, a lesson in wanting and being wanted. You were never quite what they wanted you to be. You'll spend the rest of your life proving you are worth being loved.
The second is a lesson in expectations. This one was supposed to be better, they were supposed to be worse. Did they make you feel wanted? Does loving them feel like betraying the first?
...and the third, the older sibling filling a role. Sibling-to-sibling, a closed system. How tragic neither one will get what they want.
There is never enough time.

gang jae: why did you bring the tangerines? why bring three of them when your bag is so small?
bu jeong: i dont want to talk about it
gang jae: okay
after a long pause as they lie silently, facing opposite each other
bu jeong: it's been so long... it's been so long since i met with someone that i didn't know what to bring. they were on the table. so i just brought them.
gang jae: so this is like a picnic to you then?
bu jeong: no. i just....felt like disappearing. sometimes, i hate myself so much that i wish i could just disappear. the sun went down. i was hungry but i didn't want to do anything and then a thought occured to me "i want to die like i'm floating away somewhere"... but on my way here... i felt good. i thought "why did i bring the tangeries?" but the tangerine was sweet. i thought "why did i wear ill fitting shoes?" but it felt great taking them off. the bathroom was large. i was sitting. now im lying down....i also want to go home. i want to see my dad. i think i know what you mean about a stream trickling down your heart, although I cant explain it.
gang jae: if by chance, we meet again by coincidece, not like today, do you want to die with me?
